Is a knee replacement categorized as a disability?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: It is not considered a total disability.And varies from patient to patient. It does not automatically qualify you for any particular benefits.

Maybe: The success of a total knee replacement is objectively measured through a series of steps. These steps are designed to assess how well the knee replacement is functioning overall for the patient. The ama disability ratings guide is then used to determine if the patient has a "ratable" disability.
